A Woman's Influence

"Too frequently, women underestimate their influence for good. Well
could you follow the formula given by the Lord: 'Establish a house,
even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of
learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God' (D&C
88:119).

"In such a house will be found happy, smiling children who
have been taught, by precept and example, the truth. In a Latter-day
Saint home, children are not simply tolerated, but welcomed; not commanded,
but encouraged; not driven, but guided; not neglected, but loved."

(Thomas S. Monson, "The Spirit of Relief Society," Ensign, May 1992, 101-102)
